Trainer Notes (Remove before training.) Approximate Time Estimates: Clarifying Expected Behavior Expectations and Rules ___ • Clarifying Expected Behavior 120 minutes • Action Planning 30 minutes • 2.5 Hours
Working Agreements Be Respectful • Be an active listener—open to new ideas • Use notes for side bar conversations Be Responsible • Be on time for sessions • Silence cell phones—reply appropriately Bea Problem Solver • Follow the decision making process • Work toward consensus and support decisions of the group
Attention Signal Practice • Select and teach an attention signal.
Introductions • Insert an Introductions Activity. MO SW-PBS
Session Outcomes At the end of today’s session, you will be able to… • Review the Science of Behavior. • Select or review three to five schoolwide expectations that define success for all students and are applicable in all settings. • Create a matrix of specific behaviors/rules to further clarify each schoolwide expectation for every setting, including classroom.
Science of Behavior • Behavior is learned • Students do not learn what to do when they are given only adverse consequences • To learn social behavior, students must be directly taught. • To retain new behaviors, students must be given specific, positive feedback and opportunities to practice.

Why Identify Expectations and Rules? • Provides consistencyin language • Provides consistencyin what to teach • Provides consistencyin what to recognize • Providesconsistencyin what to correct Consistency is the cornerstone for all you will do to implement SW-PBS!
Activity: Balloon Competition • We are going to have a balloon blowing contest! • Count off to 10. • Each group go to a separate area as assigned. • Select one leader for each group. • Group leaders meet in a separate area as directed. • When your group leader returns, you will wait for the signal to start blowing up your balloons. • Once you’ve blown up a balloon, give it to your group leader. MO SW-PBS
Discussion: Balloon Competition Discuss the following with your team: • What were the expectations for acceptable balloons? • How did you feel when your balloon was popped by your group leader? • Could our students feel this same way when they are held responsible for expectations that may differ throughout the building? MO SW-PBS
Discussion: A Social Behavioral Curriculum Read pages 98-99 and discuss the following questions with your team: How does a curriculum – perhaps math or reading – unify staff and focus their work, ensuring that they are striving for the same student outcomes? What are some of your thoughts about the power of having a social behavioral curriculum? MO SW-PBS
Terminology • Expectations: defines the kind of people that you want your students to be (e.g., respectful, responsible, etc.) • Behaviors/Rules: specifies tasks students are to do to meet the schoolwide expectations • Procedures: methods or process for how things are done in non-classroom settings and each classroom
Criteria for Schoolwide Expectations • Broad constructs or descriptions of the characteristics of positive behavior • Positively stated • Brief – no more than 3 to 5 in number • Comprehensive
Schoolwide Expectations • Remember, involve all stakeholders when developing your schoolwide expectations. • How you will involve students and parents in developing your school schoolwide expectations? • How will you ensure expectations reflect valued outcomes in your school community? • A Work Group Process is found on page 84 of the workbook.
Action Planning: Expectations Action Plan Goals: • Select three to five schoolwide expectations that define success for all students and are applicable in all settings (e.g., respectful, cooperative, safe, kind). Develop steps, timeline, resources, communication, and designate person responsible.
Activity: The Model Student As a team, describe the behavior of the model student. On chart paper, draw a picture of this student. Be prepared to share with the whole group.
Defining Specific Behaviors/Rules • Once you have 3-5 schoolwide expectations, you must define specific behaviors, or rules, for each one. • Leave no doubt for teachers or students exactly what is to be done. • You are answering the question, “What does [respect, responsibility, best effort, etc.] look like in all settings or in our [hallways, cafeteria, recess, on the bus, etc.].
Defining Behaviors/Rules • Specifically Identified Behaviors should be: • Observable – Behaviors we can see • Measurable – We can count occurrences • Positively Stated – What we do to be successful • Understandable – Student-friendly language • Always Applicable – The same everyday
Activity: OMPUA Keep hands, feet & objects to self. Follow directions. Try your best. Walk. Be a learner. No talking in the hall. Stay in assigned area until dismissed.
Activity: Defining Behaviors/ Rules with OMPUA Identify behaviors/rules for students being safe in the hallway. Do the behaviors/rules meet OMPUA guidelines? Do they, together, create a vision of a highly successful student?
Schoolwide Expectations Matrix MO SW-PBS
All Settings What? Why? • Rules that are expected in each and every school location and are connected to the 3-5 schoolwide expectations identified. • Expectations often not clear or agreed upon by all staff. • Supervisors change day by day. • Need to state behavior only once on Matrix, fewer rules on Matrix.
Non-Classroom Areas What? Why? • Any area of the school not under the direct and consistent supervision of one adult. • Expectations often not clear or agreed upon by all staff. • Supervisors change day by day, or area is not regularly supervised. • Allows staff to teach expectations prior to entering the setting and use consistent supervision. • Increases staff and student comfort when in these areas.
Possible Non-Classroom Areas Restrooms Cafeteria Hallways Recess or Breaks Arrival/Departure Assemblies/Pep Rallies After School Activities Homework Assistance School Grounds/Parking Lot Special Work Areas Computer Lab Office Area Gym or Equipment Area Concerts or Performances
Defining Non-Classroom Behaviors • Same considerations for defining All-Settings behaviors. • Aligned/anchored to school-wide expectations. • OMPUA • Define behaviors in addition to those identified for All Settings that will lead to success in that specific setting.
“Findings indicate a need to establish consensus to implement PBIS in the classroom setting as soon as it is implemented in nonclassroom settings (ie., schoolwide).” (Mathews, McIntosh, Frank, & May, 2014). 124
Classroom Behaviors/Rules What? Why? • Rules that apply in your classroom. • Expectations often not clear or agreed upon by all. • Students spend the majority of their day in the classroom. • Prevents problem behaviors. • Increases instructional time. • Provides language for teaching and feedback for students, staff and parents.
Options for Defining Classroom Behaviors/Rules • All classrooms have the same rules that are included on the Matrix: all inclusive!
Options for Defining Classroom Behavior/Rules • All classrooms have the same set of basic rules that are included on the Matrix: teachers can add specific to their classroom that align with expectations
Options for Defining Classroom Behaviors/Rules • Each teacher develops all his/her rules that align with the schoolwide expectations.
Discussion: Classroom Behaviors/Rules Discuss the following with your team: Which option for defining classroom behaviors/rules will work best for our staff? • All classrooms have the same behaviors/rules. • All classrooms have same basic behaviors/rules, teachers can add to. • Each teacher develops behaviors/rules aligned to schoolwide expectations. MO SW-PBS
Engaging Students • List the schoolwide expectations and have students make a list of expected behaviors/rules under each expectation. • Lead a discussion to clarify each behaviors/rule developed and gain student commitment. • Publicly commit to the behaviors/rules. • Send the list home to inform parents. • Display the classroom behaviors/rules in a big and bold way.
Optional Activity Insert Optional Slides titled, Class Meetings to Build a Matrix with Students
Engaging Parents • Families are equal partners in school decisions • Include families in school decisions, developing leaders and representatives • Recruit multiple family members for SWPBS teams (who are not employees or educators) • Alternate meeting times: morning, afternoon and evening (Susan Barrett, Sheppard Pratt Health System) MO SW-PBS
Session Outcomes At the end of today’s session, you will be able to… • Review the Science of Behavior. • Select or review three to five schoolwide expectations that define success for all students and are applicable in all settings. • Create a matrix of specific behaviors/rules to further clarify each schoolwide expectation for every setting, including classroom.
